This might have affected the impact of obesity on the results of pulmonary function testing in patients with and without asthma. However, the results of the PSM group comparison also confirmed that pulmonary functions were lower in patients with than in those without asthma. In addition, were ...
Pulmonary Function Testing PFT results for all study patients were collected from our institutional PFT database. Patients who did not undergo postinfection PFTs within 1 year after RVI were excluded. The PFT immediately preceding RVI was considered the baseline PFT, and the PFT with the lowest FE...

Pulmonary function testing was performed at years 0, 2, 5, 10, and 20. For this investigation, we included all visits for which pulmonary function, smoking behavior, secondhand smoke exposure, height, and waist circumference were available. Tobacco and Marijuana Exposure Current intensity of ...
often missing. Patient cooperation during lung function testing strongly influences results. This may explain contradictory results obtained in some cases. Studies that included subjects older than 60 years did not mention the cognitive function of participants, a factor that may influence patient ...
Impaired lung function is often caused by cigarette smoking, making it challenging to disentangle its role in lung cancer susceptibility. Investigation of the shared genetic basis of these phenotypes in the UK Biobank and International Lung Cancer Consor
Therefore, the test provides a broad assessment of respiratory system function [1]. Abnormal MVV results are valuable in evaluating various neuromuscular disorders [2,3,4] and predicting the risk for postoperative complications [1, 5]. MVV also remains useful in cardiopulmonary exercise testing as ...
Arterial blood gas may reveal increased A-a gradient, low pO2. On pulmonary function test (PFT), impaired DLCO is seen. Perfusion lung scan (V/Q scan) to rule out pulmonary thromboembolism. Liver function tests, autoimmune tests, and HIV testing (in high-risk patients) exclude other possibl...
